They were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the disciples were astonished, while those who followed were afraid. Again he took the Twelve aside and told them what was going to happen to him.
Mark 10:32 NIV
We can easily understand astonishment and fear when following Jesus. Jesus will take us to places to live and to serve that we have never been before. Service may be given on a mission trip, at church, in the community, at work, at home, and in other locations. We may be called to do something we have never done before. Jesus will equip us to do what needs to be done when we are serving him.
The closer to God's will we are, the less fear and more astonishment we will experience serving on our road to the New Jerusalem.
Jesus has told us what has happened and what will happen. It is for us to follow with courage as we live our lives in this world where there is darkness.
How do you find comfort, and astonishment knowing Christ?
Pray that the Spirit direct your steps to serve in your daily walk.
In Christ,
David P
